Alone is one of my all time favorite books. I am constantly recommending it. I was so excited to see a second book. And even happier to report I loved it as well. It is captivating and entertaining! Well done.

I cannot say enough about this book! I absolutely loved ALONE and could not keep it on my shelves when it was first released. It is still a go-to for student recommendations. AWAY can easily be a stand-alone novel or read along with ALONE. The format is perfect for reluctant readers and fans of prose. I really enjoyed the parts written like a script; it helped me visualize the book. I also feel several questions were answered, but I still want even more. This would be a great book as a group read-aloud and for a school book club. Students are going to want to discuss.

I read Megan Freeman's "Away" in one sitting. I enjoyed the different perspectives each character brought to the story. I was a huge fan of Megan's first book "Alone", so I was excited to see what this story brought. This is a perfect middle grade novel for students.

Fans of Megan E. Freeman's debut, ALONE: you absolutely must read this companion! Set during the same timeframe, it follows a group of children who are all evacuated and end up in the same camp. Told in alternating points of view, each with a unique voice, this story explores the reality (and reason) behind the evacuations and shares and important message about the importance of curiosity, determination, and standing up to those in power. (Readers will also love the nods to characters they first met in ALONE.)
